A reticle of a projectile weapon aiming system such as a riflescope includes a primary aiming mark adapted to be sighted-in at a first selected range and further includes a plurality of secondary aiming marks spaced apart below the primary aiming mark. The secondary aiming marks are positioned to compensate for ballistic drop at preselected incremental ranges beyond the first selected range, for a selected group of ammunition having similar ballistic characteristics. Angles subtended by adjacent aiming marks of the reticle can be adjusted by changing the optical power of the riflescope, to thereby compensate for ballistic characteristics of different ammunition. In some embodiments, the reticle includes a set of windage aiming marks spaced apart along at least one secondary horizontal axis intersecting a selected one of the secondary aiming marks, to facilitate compensation for the effect of crosswinds on the trajectory of the projectile.

A magnetic resonance antenna has longitudinal antenna rods in a birdcage structure, and antenna ferrules connecting the longitudinal antenna rods at their ends in terms of radio-frequency. The magnetic resonance antenna has a number of radio-frequency switching elements that interrupt, in terms of radio-frequency, at least one part of the longitudinal antenna rod to detune the eigen-resonance frequency of the antenna with respect to an operating magnetic resonance frequency. For this purpose, the magnetic resonance antenna is provided with two switching lines, directed to the radio-frequency switching elements from outside of the birdcage structure, the switching lines having a ring line connected thereto running annularly on or in the birdcage structure and transverse to the longitudinal antenna rods.

The financial institution may then compensate the merchant for these purchase transactions.

The present invention provides devices and methods for dynamic dispersion compensation. According to one embodiment of the invention, a dispersion compensating device includes a negative dispersion fiber having an input configured to receive the optical signal, the negative dispersion fiber having a length and dispersion sufficient to remove any positive chirp from each wavelength channel of the optical signal, thereby outputting a negatively chirped optical signal; an amplifying device configured to amplify the negatively chirped optical signal; and a nonlinear positive dispersion fiber configured to receive the negatively chirped optical signal. The devices of the present invention provide broadband compensation for systems having a wide range of variable residual dispersions.

A linearized bias circuit with adaptation resolves the problem happening to the power amplifier with conventional bias circuit that the DC and AC characteristics of the power amplifier shift or even deteriorate due to a temperature variation. The linearized bias circuit with adaptation has a reference voltage source, a first voltage source, a first resistor, a second resistor, a first NPN transistor, a second NPN transistor, and a third NPN transistor. The present invention has the characteristics of bias current temperature compensation, gain and phase compensations to achieve high linearity for the conventional power amplifier and reducing the DC consumption power. At the same time, the quantity of the required elements and layout area in the present invention are small so that the design complexity can be reduced for improving yield, reducing IC layout area, and reducing cost.

A method and apparatus for synthesizing high-frequency signals, such as wireless communication signals, includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer with a variable capacitance voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) that has a discretely variable capacitance in conjunction with a continuously variable capacitance. The discretely variable capacitance may provide coarse tuning adjustment of the variable capacitance to compensate for capacitor and inductor tolerances and to adjust the output frequency to be near the desired frequency output. The continuously variable capacitance may provide a fine tuning adjustment of the variable capacitance to focus the output frequency to match precisely the desired frequency output. During fine tuning adjustment, the PLL may be controlled by a plurality of analog control signals. The analog control signals may be derived by first generating a plurality of phase shifted signals from a divided version of the VCO output clock. Second, the phase differences between the plurality of phase shifted signals and a divided version of a reference clock may be detected and then converted to the analog control signals.

A unit for molding food products, in particular for cooking ham is provided. The unit includes a set of parallel horizontal troughs. The troughs have a downwardly-oriented base and an upwardly-oriented opening and are fixed to one or more supports that enable units to be stacked on top of one another. A set of cover elements extend beneath the set of troughs such that, when units are stacked, a cover element is engaged in the trough opening of the subjacent unit. The unit also includes a built-in spring lock which, by application of a downward pressure, solidly connect the unit to a similar unit in an automatic manner in order to ensure that the respective support is fully supported. Subsequently, the lock can be retracted to separate two units from one another and to unstack same. Units can be joined by such automated locking in order to form a stable stack. The unit is suitable for use in the agri-food industry.

Compensation for aging of an electroluminescent (EL) emitter having a luminance and a chromaticity that both correspond to the density of the current and the age of the EL emitter is performed. Different black, first and second current densities are selected based on the measured age, each corresponding to emitted light colorimetrically distinct from the light emitted at the other two current densities. Respective percentages of a selected emission time are calculated for each current density to produce a designated luminance and chromaticity. The current densities are provided to the EL emitter for the calculated respective percentages of the emission time so that the integrated light output of the EL emitter during the selected emission time is colorimetrically indistinct from the designated luminance and chromaticity, no matter the age of the EL emitter.
